Chapter 292 Even the Gods Can't Save
"Yeah, yeah."
[Your Majesty, Little Gourd said that the Queen's 'soul' is in a special condition and the Imperial Master cannot handle it.]
Chu Qinshu opened her eyes and conveyed Xiao Hulu's meaning to Emperor Yongping.
Emperor Yongping frowned. He had not expected this result.
But he believed Chu Qinshu's words unconditionally.
"Grand Master, let's wait until Grand Master Jingkong comes back to discuss this matter. You can go and do your thing."
Emperor Yongping waved his hand, and before he could react, Long Wei came out and carried him away, disappearing into Yu's study.
Awareness: "......"
Chu Qinshu entered the space again. She planned to study those books carefully.
The road of life is still long and difficulties will arise one after another, so she cannot be lazy.
However, after Chu Qinshu closed her eyes, Emperor Yongping took out the long-sealed book from the compartment of the desk.
He would have to look at it again to see if he had missed anything.
"Your Majesty, General Cui requests an audience."
After reading for only a quarter of an hour, Lin Fu interrupted Emperor Yongping.
"Cui Jinyu? Is he back in Beijing?"
Emperor Yongping asked as he put the book back into the compartment.
Calculating the time, Cui Jinyu can only leave after Duke Fuguo arrives in Liangzhou, and it is time for him to arrive in the capital.
"Yes, it is General Cui Jinyu."
Lin Fu nodded hurriedly.
This General Cui is the little princess's second uncle. He has not returned to Beijing for several years. This is his first time meeting the little princess. Shouldn't he prepare some gifts for the little princess?
"Well, let's announce it soon."
Emperor Yongping put away the book and adjusted the position of Chu Qinshu in his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.
"Well, I will announce it now."
Lin Fu responded and said in a loud voice: "Send General Cui."
"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
Cui Jinyu had not seen Emperor Yongping for several years, so he knelt down and paid his respects as soon as he entered the palace.
"My dear, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."
Emperor Yongping was an emperor who loved talents.
Cui Jinyu was worthy of being the grandson of the General of the Cavalry. He had the military spirit in his bones, which made his figure and demeanor particularly majestic.
Emperor Yongping loved this kind of general the most, who was courageous, strong and loyal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cui Jinyu stood up and stood respectfully in the hall.
Emperor Yongping asked about some matters in Liangzhou and showed concern for his health and family affairs.
Finally, he sighed and said, "My dear Cui, I want to give you a concubine. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Cui Jinyu looked up in shock.
Does the emperor want to cause unrest in his family?
He was only twenty-six years old. Although he had been married for eight years without having any children, according to the Cui family rule, one could only take a concubine after the age of forty without having any children. So there were still fourteen years left, right?
Seeing that Cui Jinyu did not answer, Emperor Yongping said: "You are a military general, the only bloodline of the General of the Cavalry. You must pay great attention to the issue of offspring."
Emperor Yongping knew that Cui Jinyu had no children, but he could not speak directly.
It was all the fault of that vicious queen, and he knew it from that book. How could he tell Cui Jinyu?
No matter what the queen did, to the outside world she was still a member of the royal family.
What can Emperor Yongping do?
The only thing he could do now was to swallow his anger and clean up the mess for her.
After all, the 'Queen' still lived in Fenghua Palace, and her bad reputation would be detrimental to his plan if it spread.
"Your Majesty is right. I do not disregard my offspring, but there are family rules in place. I cannot go against the wishes of my ancestors and disappoint them."
Cui Jinyu actually did not want to embarrass his wife, but such a matter of love between a man and a woman could never be mentioned in front of Emperor Yongping.
Then he could only let the ancestors of the Cui family take the blame for him.
Moreover, he and his wife have already returned to the capital. There are so many doctors in the capital, and at the very least, there are the imperial physicians in the palace.
He just didn't believe that he and his wife would never be able to have children in their lifetime.
"You... forget it, then wait until you have thought it through."
Emperor Yongping already felt guilty, and since Cui Jinyu was unwilling, he couldn't force him to do so.
But according to the book, the abortion drug that the Queen gave to Lady Cui Jinyu was a secret drug made by the black witch of the Red Spirit Kingdom. Once the drug took effect, even gods could not save her.
As for the Cui family's matter of having an offspring, is there any better way than marrying a concubine or taking a second wife?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Cui Jinyu was relieved to see Emperor Yongping compromise, and he bowed and thanked him, ending the topic.
"I will send a few imperial doctors to your house to examine you and your wife. You have been in Liangzhou for several years, and I am afraid your health has been greatly depleted."
Emperor Yongping temporarily gave up on giving Cui Jinyu a concubine, but he still had to care about his offspring.
The Cui family lost their descendants because they were guarding the border town for Sheng Anguo.
Now that Cui Jinyu is the only adopted son, he must find a way to restore the Cui family to its former glory.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful. May I hug Princess Anping? That is... my niece."
Cui Jinyu had originally planned to ask a doctor to see him and his wife. Emperor Yongping sent an imperial physician, which was exactly what he wished for, so he was naturally grateful.
However, he had been in the palace for more than half an hour, so why hadn't the little baby in Emperor Yongping's arms woken up yet?
Although his wife has sent a letter to the Eastern Palace today, the earliest he can meet his nephews is tomorrow.
Now that he had met one of them today, of course he had to hug her first.
"Hmm? Shu'er is still asleep, are you sure you want to hold her?"
Emperor Yongping did not expect that Cui Jinyu's words could take such a big turn, and he was stunned for a moment.
However, when he came to his senses, he was able to understand Cui Jinyu.
It's obvious that he has been married for a long time and he hasn't become a father, so he sees every child as his own.
"I want to hold a baby. When I was in Liangzhou, I also held babies from the families of my soldiers. I know how to hold babies."
Cui Jinyu thought that Emperor Yongping was worried about him and hurried to explain.
"Well, if you want to hug me, go ahead and give it a try. I'll trust you for once."
Emperor Yongping saw that Chu Qinshu had no intention of waking up, but she was easier to hug when she was asleep.
It doesn't move around, and it's sweet and soft. Whoever holds it will like it.
Lin Fu took Chu Qinshu from Emperor Yongping's arms, carried her to Cui Jinyu, and motioned for him to take her.
Chu Qinshu was quiet and well-behaved while sleeping. Her little face was round and fair, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyes. Even before one could see her eyes, one could imagine how lively and cute they were.
Cui Jinyu looked at his beautiful little niece and was a little afraid to reach out.
This...this, this, why is this different from the other little babies he has held before?
Can the skinny dark monkey and the fair and tender fairy child be hugged in the same posture?
"General Cui, you should do this. The elbow of one hand supports the little princess' neck and head, and the other hand supports the little princess' waist and buttocks.
Hey, don't let the little princess's face touch the armor on your court dress, it will freeze her."
Lin Fu could naturally see Cui Jinyu's hesitation. He had been a professional instructor in baby-holding for more than eight months and had plenty of experience. How could he let the little princess's uncle fail to hold her well?
That's impossible.
Look, isn’t this a nice hug?
But why does this posture of holding the baby look a bit awkward?
